“At the heart of it all – I am a Photographer”
This gallery is a bit of a personal time capsule. A look back at the creative path I never really planned but ended up fully immersed in.
It all started years ago when I was working as a computer programmer for a company in the midlands. My day job was all about code, but outside of work, my real passion was photography. What began as a hobby, shooting landscapes, experimenting with light, capturing moments slowly became more than just something I did in my spare time. A few of my early images made their way into exhibitions and even appeared in photography magazines, which was a buzz I didn’t expect.
Eventually, I made the leap and left programming behind to start a photography business. I covered quite a variety including weddings, fashion, advertising, events, pets, equestrian and so on. It was varied, unpredictable, and I loved the mix.
At the same time, I was closely connected with the punk and goth scene, photographing friends in their unique styles and alternative looks. I photographed cover images for a local band. One day I met a girl who designed custom leatherwear for bikers and goths. We clicked, and I ended up creating a catalogue to showcase her designs. That project ended up being a bit of a turning point.
The catalogue started to circulate, and pretty soon I was getting contacted by publishers who’d seen my work. Things snowballed from there. I kicked things off with a calendar to get a foot in the door with a local printer, and before long, I was creating my own publications. It wasn’t planned. It just unfolded, one thing led to another, and suddenly I was publishing and distributing work across the country.
The gallery below is part of that ongoing story. From a programmer with a camera to someone who built a career out of a hobby, a scene, and a bit of luck meeting the right people at the right time.
Add Iconic Images to Your Collection
If you’re someone who appreciates classic fetish photography and the visual storytelling of dominant women and their submissive counterparts, you may enjoy exploring a growing collection of vintage photosets now available in my store for instant download.
These aren’t generic stock images. They’re original scenes I photographed throughout the 1990s, during what many call the golden age of alternative and underground erotica. These sets were originally created for longstanding members of my private website and have remained unseen by the wider public ever since.
Each set captures the distinctive style and raw dynamic of the era, featuring powerful, confident women, obedient slaves, and a mood that’s pure Cruella.. Due to current UK regulations, I can’t display previews here, but if you know my work, you’ll know the kind of detail and authenticity to expect.
For collectors of niche erotica or anyone who values visual history with a firm edge, these sets offer something special. A piece of the scene as it was.
